Introduction
The construction sector is one of the main drivers of EU’s economy. Despite major efforts in harmonising
and standardization of qualification and training procedures across the EU, the competence level of
sustainability experts and the underlying training and education contents varies significantly between
the Member States. The H2020 TRAIN4SUSTAIN project fostered a common understanding of
sustainable competences across Europe developing a Competence Quality Standard (CQS), on which this
CWA is based, in sustainable building for facilitating transnational recognition of learning outcomes and
competence levels of existing qualifications and vocational trainings. The CQS is a tool to evaluate,
scoring and report in a comparable and harmonised way the level of competence, skills and knowledge
of white and blue collars in sustainable building. The CQS is a tool useful to stimulate demand for
competent construction sector professionals through raising acceptance of sustainability qualifications
on the EU construction market. To this end, comparability of qualifications and competences is key for
increased transparency and penetration power in the market, avoiding confusion and uncertainty. The
TRAIN4SUSTAIN CQS intends to be a tool to facilitate the request of qualified professionals and blue
collars by public administrations and private clients and to valorise with a transparent common
“reporting” system the competences acquired through training courses and experience on field. The
TRAIN4SUSTAIN Competence Quality Standard is built on and expands the “European Qualification
Scheme and professional profile description about professions related to NZEB design, maintenance and
refurbishment” delivered by the Horizon 2020 project “Prof/Trac”.

1 Scope
This document is a Competence Quality Standard addressed to white and blue collars. It provides the
Learning Outcomes, expressed in terms of knowledge and skills, necessary to achieve recommended
competence’s levels in sustainable building. It is a tool useful to assess and report, in a common
transnational format (Skill Passport), the level of competence in relation to reference Work Fields. The
Competence Quality Standard can also be used to map qualification schemes and training courses and
to transparently report the Learning Outcomes provided to white and blue collars. The Competence
Quality Standard is useful to identify competence’s gaps and to support in the selection of the most
appropriate training courses to fill them. It is a tool useful for public authorities and clients to express
measurable competence requirements in tenders and to select the most competent professionals. The
document provides guidance about how to validate and certify the assessment of competences.

4 Structure of the Competence Quality Standard
4.1 General
The TRAIN4SUSTAIN Competence Quality Standard (CQS) is a framework of Areas of Expertise
organised in a hierarchic and modular structure. Each Area of Expertise correspond to a sustainability
subject. The sustainability subjects addressed in the CQS have been defined in relation to relevant
European standards and frameworks of sustainability indicators, namely:
- Level(s), the common EU framework of core sustainability indicators for office and residential
buildings. The Level(s) common framework is based on 6 macro-objectives, which describe
what the strategic priorities should be for the contribution of buildings to EU and Member State
policy objectives in areas such as energy, material use and waste, water and indoor air quality
- EN 16309 – Sustainability of Construction Works – Assessment of social performance of
buildings
- EN 15978 – Sustainability of Construction Works – Assessment of environmental performance
of buildings
- EN 16627 – Sustainability of Construction Works – Assessment of economic performance of
buildings
The structure of the CQS framework is organised in 4 modules. Each module is articulated in 4 hierarchic
levels. The 4 modules are named “Dimensions”. Three of them are “vertical” and correspond to the
dimensions of sustainable development as identified in the Agenda 2030 of United Nations:
Environment, Society and Economy. The fourth dimension, Process, is “horizontal” and deals with the
competences necessary to design, construct and operate a sustainable building. The following table
describes the scope of the 4 Dimensions.
Table 1 – Scope of the CQS Dimensions
Dimension Scope
to protect the planet from degradation, including through sustainable
consumption and production, sustainable managing its natural resources
ENVIRONMENT
and taking urgent action on climate change, so that it can support the
needs of the present and future generations.
SOCIETY to provide a healthy environment to all human beings.
to ensure that all human beings can enjoy prosperous and fulfilling lives
ECONOMY and that economic, social, and technological progress occurs in harmony
with nature.
to raise the capacity of professionals in deploying and manage effective
processes during the design, construction and operation of buildings
PROCESS
targeted to maximise the performance towards the 3 sustainable
development dimensions.
Each Dimension is articulated in 4 hierarchic levels. From the higher to the lower level:
- Level 1 – Thematic Fields
- Level 2 – Macro Areas of Expertise
- Level 3 – Areas of Expertise
- Level 4 – Learning Outcomes

Introduction
The construction sector is one of the main drivers of EU’s economy. Despite major efforts in harmonising
and standardization of qualification and training procedures across the EU, the competence level of
sustainability experts and the underlying training and education contents varies significantly between
the Member States. The H2020 TRAIN4SUSTAIN project fostered a common understanding of
sustainable competences across Europe developing a Competence Quality Standard (CQS), on which this
CWA is based, in sustainable building for facilitating transnational recognition of learning outcomes and
competence levels of existing qualifications and vocational trainings. The CQS is a tool to evaluate,
scoring and report in a comparable and harmonised way the level of competence, skills and knowledge
of white and blue collars in sustainable building. The CQS is a tool useful to stimulate demand for
competent construction sector professionals through raising acceptance of sustainability qualifications
on the EU construction market. To this end, comparability of qualifications and competences is key for
increased transparency and penetration power in the market, avoiding confusion and uncertainty. The
TRAIN4SUSTAIN CQS intends to be a tool to facilitate the request of qualified professionals and blue
collars by public administrations and private clients and to valorise with a transparent common
“reporting” system the competences acquired through training courses and experience on field. The
TRAIN4SUSTAIN Competence Quality Standard is built on and expands the “European Qualification
Scheme and professional profile description about professions related to NZEB design, maintenance and
refurbishment” delivered by the Horizon 2020 project “Prof/Trac”.

1 Scope
This document is a Competence Quality Standard addressed to white and blue collars. It provides the
Learning Outcomes, expressed in terms of knowledge and skills, necessary to achieve recommended
competence’s levels in sustainable building. It is a tool useful to assess and report, in a common
transnational format (Skill Passport), the level of competence in relation to reference Work Fields. The
Competence Quality Standard can also be used to map qualification schemes and training courses and
to transparently report the Learning Outcomes provided to white and blue collars. The Competence
Quality Standard is useful to identify competence’s gaps and to support in the selection of the most
appropriate training courses to fill them. It is a tool useful for public authorities and clients to express
measurable competence requirements in tenders and to select the most competent professionals. The
document provides guidance about how to validate and certify the assessment of competences.

4 Structure of the Competence Quality Standard
4.1 General
The TRAIN4SUSTAIN Competence Quality Standard (CQS) is a framework of Areas of Expertise
organised in a hierarchic and modular structure. Each Area of Expertise correspond to a sustainability
subject. The sustainability subjects addressed in the CQS have been defined in relation to relevant
European standards and frameworks of sustainability indicators, namely:
- Level(s), the common EU framework of core sustainability indicators for office and residential
buildings. The Level(s) common framework is based on 6 macro-objectives, which describe
what the strategic priorities should be for the contribution of buildings to EU and Member State
policy objectives in areas such as energy, material use and waste, water and indoor air quality
- EN 16309 – Sustainability of Construction Works – Assessment of social performance of
buildings
- EN 15978 – Sustainability of Construction Works – Assessment of environmental performance
of buildings
- EN 16627 – Sustainability of Construction Works – Assessment of economic performance of
buildings
The structure of the CQS framework is organised in 4 modules. Each module is articulated in 4 hierarchic
levels. The 4 modules are named “Dimensions”. Three of them are “vertical” and correspond to the
dimensions of sustainable development as identified in the Agenda 2030 of United Nations:
Environment, Society and Economy. The fourth dimension, Process, is “horizontal” and deals with the
competences necessary to design, construct and operate a sustainable building. The following table
describes the scope of the 4 Dimensions.
Table 1 – Scope of the CQS Dimensions
Dimension Scope
to protect the planet from degradation, including through sustainable
consumption and production, sustainable managing its natural resources
ENVIRONMENT
and taking urgent action on climate change, so that it can support the
needs of the present and future generations.
SOCIETY to provide a healthy environment to all human beings.
to ensure that all human beings can enjoy prosperous and fulfilling lives
ECONOMY and that economic, social, and technological progress occurs in harmony
with nature.
to raise the capacity of professionals in deploying and manage effective
processes during the design, construction and operation of buildings
PROCESS
targeted to maximise the performance towards the 3 sustainable
development dimensions.
Each Dimension is articulated in 4 hierarchic levels. From the higher to the lower level:
- Level 1 – Thematic Fields
- Level 2 – Macro Areas of Expertise
- Level 3 – Areas of Expertise
- Level 4 – Learning Outcomes
